Does God Exist?

Only the foolish, rebellious people have to deal with the question of the existence of God. His existence is self-evident to anyone who bothers to address the question. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Romans 1:20 & 21

In 2008, radio talk-show host Glen Beck asked the following question: “Why all this talk about who is a Christian and who isn’t a Christian? Don’t we all believe in God?”

The answer to that question is: “Perhaps most do, however, those who simply believe in God are not Christians.” Even Satan believes in God. So do Muslims, Mormons (like Mr. Beck), Hindus, Buddhists, etc.

The important question, as all Christians know, is: Do you believe in Jesus Christ? More specifically do you believe He is God, come in the form of man to show you how to live, pay the penalty for your sins and reconcile you unto Him? Do you believe INTO Jesus Christ? Have you accepted His forgiveness of your sins, His authority (as God) to do so, and are you now indwelled by His Spirit and experiencing His salvation from the world, from sin, from your sins, from your self, and from Satan?

This is the real question: “
Who do you say Jesus is?”

“What about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Matthew 16: 15 & 16
